Another Lucille Pillow

In an earlier post, I spoke of my Lucille pillow, which was the first in a series of little pillows I have designed to test motifs in my Lucille Rug before I offer the pattern for sale.

After a little hiatus, where I stitched a Christmas Stocking, I have now stitched my Lucille 1 Pillow and the pattern is being offered for sale.

This pillow went through a couple of color transformations before I was happy with the result. One of the motifs was originally designed in a dark blue, but I accidentally stitched it in a dark green. I found I liked it better and it looked better in the rug pattern, so the green won the day.

I have found that when working in the evenings stitching, it takes me approximately 5 days to finish a pillow. My next post will most likely be in 5-6 days as I have decided to finish working the Lucille pillows before I start another testing project.  I have quite a few patterns left to test and I am continuing to work through them before I allow myself to get started on my next large rug.
